Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to admission to charter schools
AI Summary
This bill requires parents of a child who is eligible to attend a public school that is performing well, meaning it is "in good standing with the department" (referring to the State Education Department), to first provide a written justification and educational reasoning to the superintendent of that public school district before applying for their child's admission to a charter school. The department will create a document to assist parents in providing these justifications and reasoning, and a meeting will be scheduled with the school district upon submission. This new requirement does not apply to children seeking admission to charter schools in cities with a population of one million or more.
